Leftover hot dogs - we chop them, add to a box of cornbread mix with a big handful of cheddar. Bake them in a muffin tin and serve with tons of mustard!

@@lorrainebarnes4633 make the cornbread mixture just like it says on the box (1 egg, 1/3 cup milk) and you can either chop up the hit dogs real small and mix in bits into the batter with the cheese, OR mix the batter and cheese, pour into a muffin tin, and them put one larger piece of hit dog into each muffin, making it more like a hot dog. If you do that you can use hot dog wienies!
We like to use leftover hotdogs for breakfast every now and then. They are a good substitute if you don't have any other breakfast meats 👌👌

My boys like sliced fried hot dogs with scrambled egg and cheese breakfast tacos! 👍🏼
When I was little my Nuna would make us “weenies, noodles, and tomato sauce” and it was so so good! Exactly what it sounds like, think like chicken noodle soup but tomato based with weenies instead..she used egg noodles…now I wish I had watched her as she passed 16 years ago and I’ve never been able to make it as good as she did!
When I was a kid I hated grilled or baked hot dogs too, I liked boiled! As an adult I prefer grilled though , I guess it's a kid thing.
We like to do fried hotdogs with potatoes onions and cheese in a skillet. Yummy

Thats what we do! Sometimes we add green peppers and creole/cajun seasoning and always garlic powder and its bomb!
I love so much that you show us your process and give us notes afterwards, regarding whether or not you would change/add anything. Thank you so much for all of your videos and for taking the time to "troubleshoot." I hope y'all enjoy your trip!
Hey Kristin! Those green tomatoes just spoke to my soul. My granny was from Barbourville, KY and she would make fried green tomatoes all the time when I was younger. It reminded me of the good ol' days. As always, thanks for the great video :)
If you want a no sugar fruit dip, use a block of cream cheese, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a few tablespoons of Splenda.

I love making scrambled eggs with left over weenies. So yummy with hash browns and Tabasco sauce! 🤤
Oh man. Now I not only want fried green tomatoes, but I also want to want to watch the movie lol. That BLT looks amazing!
Your daddy slays in the kitchen 🔥nothing better than some southern cooking
Left over hotdogs in baked beans... every time! *chef's kiss*
You could cut up the hot dogs, brown them up & add to sour kraut. Or you could do beans and wienies (baked beans with the hot dogs cut up. Probably everyone has heard of these, but those are the ones that came to mind. Honestly, we would've probably just eaten them as chili dogs for lunch the next day. The foot longs are fun!

Here in California, I can buy tomato paste in a tube so, you just put the cap on and it saves for quite a while. Then you can portion out what you need instead of opening up a whole can.
Years ago Suddenly Salad had a tuna noodle salad that was so good! Wish they would bring it back!
When we have leftover hot dogs or keilbasa i like to fry them up til crispy then remove them from the pan amd fry up some potatoes amd onions (sometimes green pepper) with garlic powder ,onion powder,(sometimes slap ya mama or tonys creole) salt and pepper until the potatoes are crispy and golden. Add back in the hotdogs/keilbasa then top with cheese (pepperjack or triple cheddar for me) and it is sooo good!!!! I cant wait to try some of these!
I could eat a BLT every day!! It’s the perfect meal!! I might have to try my hand at the fried green tomatoes…looks yummy!
Leftover hot dogs makes good Ole beanie weenies for me, I know so inventive right, but it's always so good. I always love the idea of roasting potatoes for like fries or wedges or a hash, but I never really am happy with the results and I've tried all the methods, but that's just me. Anyway dinner looked yummy girl
We cut hot dogs into slices as you did and let them sauté in a pan until they get golden in color then scramble some eggs over it. Add ketchup when serving 👌🏽
Sometimes I’ll fry some cut up hot dogs in some oil in the morning with some eggs and beans, mix it all with sour cream
thanks for being a real mom! its all good to cook these big meals sometimes, but you showed how most everyday mom actually cook and not break the bank! thank you thank you!
I actually had a BLT with fried green tomato in a restaurant and it was absolutely delicious. People give this a try …great video..thank you
Chicken burrito bowls are a family favorite! Everything looked good
You know it's gonna be a great week when my fave KZreadr post 2 videos 😁😁 For the left over hotdogs, it's pretty simple with my kids. They love mac.n cheese with cut up hotdogs in it.
I used to use that dirty rice brand years ago in my stuffed bell peppers. I totally forgot about it. 🤪 Super yummy!!

We make fruit dip all the time but we also add a container of cool whip and it makes it even better!
I have a recipe for a hot dog soup that is made with canned baked beans. Easy - saute 2 carrots and q large onion that you have chopped in tablespoon of oil, add the hot dogs, 1 1/2 cans of baked beans, 1/2 can V-8 juice ( or 2 small cans), teaspoon salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder and 1 tablespoon onion powder
Left over hotdogs is perfect for a lunch. We chop them up, put them in a pan together with cubes of boiled potatoes and chopped onions. Cook it in the pan until it gets a nice, crispy and brown edge. Serve it on a plate with a fried egg on top. Salt and pepper to taste.
I love it! Love that you included footlong chili dogs it makes me want to do that with my family! You have the best ideas and the greatest recipes
I love using hot dogs fried in sauerkraut. Oh gosh now I want fried green tomatoes 😋

Your content is not only helpful but soothing ❤ I binge watch you after a long day of working full time and taking care of a newborn and toddler. TY for taking the time to make what you do
That’s so strange the hot dogs turned that color. We wouldn’t of wasted them either though! I love how you reused them.
My husband makes scrambled eggs with hot dogs and it’s so good!
I love that you don’t waste. You have me picking up those habits.
Old El Paso has a delicious cilantro lime rice mix too! Beautiful meals as usual!👍😋😋
Love fried green tomatoes, had them on vacation in Virginia, don’t see them often in Pennsylvania. Rice bowl looked good, I’ll have to try it, except for cilantro….I’m one of those people that it tastes like soap to. Happy Vacation!

I was anxious to see what you thought of the dirty rice. I've seen it numerous times and questioned if it was good. Now I can buy it! Thanks! When I lived in Dallas I had a friend that made the BEST dirty rice ever...I can kick myself for not getting the recipe. Take care... I'll take one of those sandwiches...YUM!
Okay I totally judged for not browning the g.beef first. But I tried and and half way through I kept hearing your voice in my head “trust the process” and it was the best I ever made! Thank you!

Fried green tomatoes BLT and that Bacon ranch pasta salad....literally MY faves in a meal!!!! I add chunks of tomatoes to the pasta salad AND thank yoy for the idea of adding fried green tomatoes to a BLT ...I love them apart haveto be mibd blowing together !
Those chili dogs are sounding so good right now 😁 sometimes I like to use leftover hotdogs for fried rice or just eating them alongside so leftover Mexican rice and chili beans. Nice hotdogs are pretty versatile
Great value cantina salsa is absolutely the best salsa around! It's so good. I'm new to your channel and I just love your meals. They are easy and look delicious. Can't wait to try some of your ideas!
First- I love your videos. Second- I buy the Zatarin’s brand dirty rice. Sometimes I can find reduced sodium ones. I usually add corn to ours and we love it. Thanks for all the inspiration!
A game changer for us was switching the Mayo for the ranch dressing in the cold box pasta. Sooo good.
My stepdad has always pan fried or seared hot dogs. I didn’t think my husband would like it, but he loves it and that’s the only way I make them. I put a nonstick pan on the stove turned onto medium heat. (Because I baby they, no need to add any butter or oil. I dropped the hotdogs in, I sprinkle them heartily with Morton’s Nature’s Seasoning and cook them for about 7 minutes until they get color and smell finished. Right before I take them out, I sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese and let the cheese melt down. We serve it with baked beans or Mac and cheese or whatever’s in the pantry. We also make chili dogs with them. Love your videos!
Yum I love fried green tomatoes, and macaroni and tomatoes, when I have leftover hot dogs I mix them with a can of baked beans and bake them so good
That fried green tomato sandwich you made…🙌🤤🤤 Amazing! I’m drooling
Now there's a style of BLT I would love to try!
That fruit dip is the best!! Been making it for years and it’s a summer staple! Also, zatatains dirty rice is our fav. So good with ground beef! I add cheese on my bowl with crystals hot sauce, such a good combo!

My Mom made Beanie Weenies with leftover hotdogs and it was so good! One of my favorite meals as a kid. My mom had a great way of taking cheap food and making it taste good. She has passed so I can’t ask her, but my memory is it was Pork and Beans doctored with ketchup, little bit of mustard and brown sugar. Not sure if she cooked hot dogs first, but they were so good in it.

the pale hot dogs omg love u girl! My grandpap made “mush”. Scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and keilbasa. On cheap dinner nights he replaced with hot dogs. Great once it has the flavor of the fried potatoes
Those fried green tomato BLTs look amazing!
I made that same recipe for fruit dip this week except I did the juice from half of an orange in place of the vanilla….. SO SO SO GOOD!
I know vacation time is supposed to be quality time, but a few clips on the local eating establishments would be cool. It need not be long just 10 min. or so for the whole week. It might some of us some ideas if we should be in those parts.
Leftover hotdogs- I love a comfort food from Finland. It’s called nakkikastike and it’s basically hotdogs in gravy flavored with ketchup and served over mashed potatoes. It’s so yummy!
I love using that box of dirty rice! I think some polish sausage would be good in it too
My family growing up always made hot dogs into a sort of hash. Take frozen home fries and crisp them up with onions and bell peppers. Add in a can of corn and sliced hot dogs. Season to your liking. Drizzle with ketchup. So good!
Beanies and weenies! Baked beans and add the left over hotdogs. Or add to spaghettios :)
I have a hard time using a whole can of tomato paste too and hate wasting. I will freeze some in cube trays then in baggies to not waste it or I will buy the kind in the metal squeeze tube so I can use a little at a time.
Yesss!! Look forward to these every week❤️
I know you don't love onions, but growing up my mom would cut them down the middle vertically, but not all the way through! Like a hot dog bun, then she would caramelize onions, top them with bbq sauce, and then top with cheese! Either a like kraft single (my favorite!) or shredded cheddar. Then she popped them under the broiler and we ate them with a fork - no bun or anything! So, so good lol!
I know it sounds funny but I've been watching you since the beginning and it's so fun to see your palate expand! I feel like you try things now that you never would have a few years ago! So proud keep it up

Omg, that blt looked so good! My birthday is tomorrow and that's what I put on the meal plan because I love them so much. We'll definitely have to try those burrito bowls.
My mom used to fry up a big pan of fried potatoes with onions and maybe a little green pepper. She’d put chopped hot dogs in. This was really good when feeding the 6 kids. You could use uncooked or leftover cooked ones, just heat them through
Chili dog enchiladas. Wrap your hot dogs with some cheese in a flour tortilla bake until crispy top with you leftover chili.
I make Pork n beans and left over hot dogs. 2 cans pork n beans,onion,TBS of ketchup and 2 TBS BBQ sauce and cut up hotdogs. I like making corn bread with it . I’ll have to try the fried green tomatoes on my BLT. Sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing you dinner ideas🤗
